Send an email notifying the user if task is assigned to the respective user

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

I have the Assigned to value set based off value choice on a dropdown. For example: If issue value = Password Issues, assign to X employee.

 

The issue I am running into with the workflow is that I can't figure out how to get an email to send when the item is modified and the assigned to value changes. Using the previous example, employee X needs to re-assign the task to employee Y. I want employee Y to get an email that a request was assigned to her.

 

If I try to create a Flow using the trigger "When a Sharepoint item is created or modified", there's no logic expression to set a condition "if field assigned to changes" and I don't have the Dynamic Fields to pull from to do something like "if Update Item 1 Assigned to =/= Update Item 2 Assigned To Value. Just wondering if there's an advanced logic expression I can use or some way around this.

    Hi @Anonymous 

     

    The short answer is no. There's a detailed article from a member of this community that explains how to do it:

    Please let me know if you can implement it and have questions.

    {"@odata.type":"#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedReference","Id":1,"Value":"Saranya J"}
